Netherlands: Initial Coin Offering (ICO) participation rate 2018

Of the cryptocurrency investors in the Netherlands in 2018, approximately six percent indicated they invested in a digital currency from one specific Initial Coin Offering (ICO). An ICO is a way for a company to raise venture capital. The company, usually a start-up, created a cryptocurrency and it sells these to investors. Dutch interest in cryptocurrencies decreased since 2018, however, with no new surveys or information appearing in 2019.

Because Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies reached the news often in 2017, approximately 60 percent of the households in the Netherlands who invested in cryptocurrencies started doing so in 2017.
